Second-hand store in Eskilstuna received two grenades, staff taken into custody

A second-hand store in Eskilstuna received two grenades. A police operation was launched and the staff were taken into custody - but the grenades turned out to be unloaded.

The police were alerted shortly after 11 a.m. on Tuesday that an object suspected to be dangerous had been handed in at the second-hand store in the Valhalla industrial area in Eskilstuna. The location was cordoned off and, according to local media, the staff had to be taken into custody.

Just over an hour later, the police announced that two grenades had been found, but that they were unloaded.

"They are being taken care of by the police so that the same thing doesn't happen again," the police write on their website.
